heh.. i wouldn't bother until KDE4 to experiment with threading anyways. it's 
too painful with Qt3 for these kinds of things.

what about using a QTimer to break it up though? yes, this means that one 
could start another exposite event while one is in progress or other sorts of 
things to really mess you up ;) but maybe it's worth looking at?

i'm fine with it going into CVS without this, though.. this is more of a "make 
it really nice by making it non-blocking" sort of polish detail than a "show 
stopper" IMHO.
